2020 Winter RVC Insights - Flipbook - Page 19
With the help and extreme
generosity of our vendors,
member-owners, employees,
local businesses and community members, we were able to
provide over $40,000 to area food
bank backpack programs, food
pantries, and hunger programs in
eastern Iowa and western Illinois.
We also continued our support
of area youth involved in agriculture, by providing over $70,000 for
local FFA and 4-H related projects
and contributions to 18 county
fairs.
We look forward to the New Year
and continuing the execution of
the many strategies that have
been successfully deployed in
recent years.
With the projects and initiatives
highlighted above, you can see
both the board and our employee
team had a busy year.
This year, Dean Adrian of Maquoketa, IA has stepped down
from our board of directors. We
would like to thank him for his
many years of dedicated service to River Valley Cooperative.
Dean’s leadership has helped to
shape the company’s vision and
drive the success we experience
today.
We truly appreciate our board
members investing their time
away from their personal farm operations to help set the strategic
direction and lead your cooperative forward.
In closing, we certainly appreciate that the economic challenges
which the entire agriculture sector
is facing today drive uncertain
times.
We also understand that each
one of you, as a customer, have a
choice on where you procure your
products and services. For that
reason, we value your business
and thank you for your support
and continued trust in River Valley
Cooperative. Here’s to 2020!
Two new tanks were constructed at the Sunbury, Iowa, feed mill.
